Nod2 [Search on AGR]
Rattus norvegicus Enables muramyl dipeptide binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to peptidoglycan; positive regulation of dendritic cell cytokine production; and response to muramyl dipeptide. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including Golgi apparatus; basolateral plasma membrane; and phagocytic vesicle. Predicted to be part of protein-containing complex. Predicted to be active in cytosol and plasma membrane. Predicted to be extrinsic component of plasma membrane. Biomarker of colitis; middle cerebral artery infarction; and pancreatitis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Blau syndrome; autoimmune disease (multiple); gastrointestinal carcinoma; intestinal disease (multiple); and lung disease (multiple). Orthologous to human NOD2 (nucleotide binding oligomerization domain containing 2); PARTICIPATES IN NOD-like receptor signaling pathway; nuclear factor kappa B signaling pathway; tuberculosis pathway; INTERACTS WITH 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzodioxine; 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid; 4,4'-sulfonyldiphenol.
